What are google-maps-infobox's main functionalities?

Customizable InfoBox

This feature allows you to create a highly customizable info box with specific styles, dimensions, and content. The code sample demonstrates how to initialize a Google Map and add a custom InfoBox with specific styling and content.

const map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), { center: { lat: -34.397, lng: 150.644 }, zoom: 8 });
const infobox = new InfoBox({ content: '<div class="infobox">Hello, World!</div>', disableAutoPan: false, maxWidth: 150, pixelOffset: new google.maps.Size(-140, 0), zIndex: null, boxStyle: { background: "url('http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/infobox/examples/tipbox.gif') no-repeat", opacity: 0.75, width: "280px" }, closeBoxMargin: "12px 4px 2px 2px", closeBoxURL: "http://www.google.com/intl/en_us/mapfiles/close.gif", infoBoxClearance: new google.maps.Size(1, 1), isHidden: false, pane: "floatPane", enableEventPropagation: false });
infobox.open(map);

Positioning InfoBox

This feature allows you to position the InfoBox at a specific location on the map. The code sample shows how to set the position of the InfoBox using latitude and longitude coordinates.

const map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), { center: { lat: -34.397, lng: 150.644 }, zoom: 8 });
const infobox = new InfoBox({ content: '<div class="infobox">Positioned InfoBox</div>', pixelOffset: new google.maps.Size(-50, -50) });
infobox.open(map);
infobox.setPosition(new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.644));

Event Handling

This feature allows you to handle events related to the InfoBox, such as when it is ready or when it is clicked. The code sample demonstrates how to add an event listener to the InfoBox that logs a message when the InfoBox is ready.

const map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), { center: { lat: -34.397, lng: 150.644 }, zoom: 8 });
const infobox = new InfoBox({ content: '<div class="infobox">Click me!</div>' });
infobox.addListener('domready', function() { console.log('InfoBox is ready!'); });
infobox.open(map);
